NEEDED LEGIsLATIoN.-It is

IN
rather early to discuss the needed
legislation to be done by our next
legislature, but as suggestions some
times give an opportunity to reflect
upon what is needed We may now
refer TO some matters that need at
tention that such opportunity may
be afforded.
For Anne Arundel county there
is one thing in which our represen-
tatives will be recreant if they leave
one stone unturned in their efforts
to accomplish. 1t is a known fact
that ut least three fourths of the
dredgers who are captured are
brought to Annapolis for trial.
Here they are committed by an
Anne Arundel magistrate, bearded
in the Anne Arundel Jail, tried be-
fore an Anne Arundel jury and
prosecuted by the Anne Arundel
attorney, and the whole expense Of
their trial is borne by the county
while the fines all go to the State.
While the counties along the bay
shore derive most direct benefit
from the oyster interest, it is one
that benefits every portion of the
State. We therefore hold that as
the State has received the fines it is
the duty of our Legislators to intro
duee and press to its passage a bill
to have Anne Arundel county re-
imbursed by the State the full
amount of all expenses paid by the
county for the costs incurred in
these cases. We say this interest
benefits the whole State-and while
counties not contiguous to the Bay
get only an indirect benefit yet in
the heavy amount of State taxes
paid by vessels engaged in the trade,
by way of license, fines and direct
taxes, and in the taxes paid by the
large Gamers and shippers, by so
much are their taxes lessened.
Therefore we say the benefit goes
to the Wh0le State and the
State should pay the costs
Of trials. Anne Arundel county has
a right to be reimbursed the costs
of all of these trials, and if there
are those who hold the contrary
view give us at least our pro rata
share, or pay into our treasury the
fines that have been collected here.
The oyster interest is one that needs
especial legislation. Dredgers have
ruined many of ouI best oyster bars
and the penalty for violating the
law should be made so heavy that
no one would dare risk capture and
conviction. Another feature neces-
sary to the preservation of these
beds presents itself in the exporta-
tion of our dredged oysters for
planting in northern waters. In or
der to prevent this there should be
tax of at least 25 cents per bushel
levied on every bushel taken out of
the State for these purposes. If not
carried away for these purposes they
will grow to maturity in our own
waters, and yield an income to our
own people far in advance of that
now realized. The dredger's life is
a hard one, but the occasional heavy
demand for oysters makes too much
competition and causes more to 60
into the business than can make it
pay-hence the destruction of our
beds. Make the penalties severe.
Cut off the privilege of free dredg.
ing to the world and put on an ex-
port tax, and we may hope to see
our oyster beds up to their original
standard of productiveness. These
are only few Of the matters that
call for the attention of our legisla-
tors.

Portland Yacht Club took place yesterday.
Interest in the race was manifested by the
large number Of members of the club who
gathered at the house to see the start and
the groups on the ends of the wharves. -Four

ond class. They were the Warren, length 80

minute and 43 seconds after eleven, the War
rem seven seconds later, and 81 seconds be-
hind the Warren were the Willie and Marie.

first, followed closely in order by the Warren.

On Saturday afternoon, two barrels of
whiskey were landed on the wharf at Win
terport, and were seized by some of the
young men belonging to George Pratt Lodge.
and locked up in cellar for safe keeping.
Fearing that an attempt might be made to
get unlawful possession of it, seven of the
boys sat up to watch it. About -. 80 Sunday
ngiht, or rather Monday morning, eight men
with masks on, appeared at the cellar, and
one or two waited with a team down the
street. They opened the outside doors. land
part Of them went down to force an entrance
into the cellar, while the rest remained on
guard. AT this stage of the proceedings the
Templars made their appearance. The
guards fired at them, and the boys promptly
returned the fire. Quite lively skirmish
ensued in which the Templars cam eoff vic
torious, putting the raiders to rout and cap
turing some of their masks. The boys were
very plucky, and guarded the "contraband"
goods again on Monday night, and on Tues
day took it TO Belfast, where it will be safely
kept until the time for it to be finally dis
posed of. No one was seriously hurt in the
affair, except the feelings of the owners of
the whiskey,

A Wooden Magnet.

A short time ago the steamer Mary Morgan
on her way to Bangor put into this port be-
cause her compass would not work. After
much work on the compass the difficulty
could not be found. OF course in all iron
vessels a magnet has to be used to counter
act the influence of the iron upon the COM
pass. 1t finally occurred to them to ex-
change this magnet when it was found that
the latter was nothing but piece of wood
A new magnet was quickly supplied and no
more trouble had. Somebody's act in placing
piece of wood in such place might have
cost loss Of life and property, and the object
of the person who did it can not be imagined.
